I'm guessing this is for all the fledgling ferals until they learn mangle. Oh what a sad time that was without mangle.

Comment by gunman22

This item is added by blizzard to help levling druid and no mangle will still be used.

Comment by mak484

From the patch notes:

Added a new Glyph of Claw for young feral druids who haven't yet obtained Mangle. Inscribers can learn this glyph from the trainer.

C'mon blizzard. We're SCRIBES!

Comment by doenutt

Now it's the Glyph of Ferocious Bite in Cata.

Comment by MMOSimca

Just for history's sake, listing the old and new effects of every glyph, so people can look back here and see the changes.

In Patch 3.3.5, this was Glyph of Claw (Major) - Reduces the energy cost of your Claw ability by 5.

In Patch 4.0.1, it has been changed to Glyph of Ferocious Bite (Major) - Your Ferocious Bite ability no longer converts extra energy into additional damage.

Comment by Sounder

When considering this glyph, bear in mind that the new Ferocious Bite doesn't convert extra energy to substandard DPS (compared to what else you could do with the energy).

New Bite coverts a max of 35 additional energy to a max of +100% Bite damage.

Comment by AveryZan

Having a hard time deciding if this is worth getting or not. It would smooth out dps i would imagine given it isnt dumping almost all of our energy pool. But this glyph would mean there would be less burst and less damage. with tiger's fury jumping up to 80 energy I am thinking it would make sense to use in conjunction with ferocious bite. The other problem is there are almost options for feral cat dps under major glyphs other then stuff I would consider more pvp/ utility. If people have tested this glyph would be great if you could let us know what your thoughts are.

Comment by FrancoFr

Today I tested this glyph. my dps dropped dramatically.to have an idea. I caused 14k dmg without the glyph, and now i just doing 4k.I hope Blizzard makes this more useful.

Comment by Klpire

Ok, this glyph means that I no longer have to watch my energy the few seconds before I FB so that I don't drain my energy pool. On the other hand, at 70 energy I get the +100% damage bonus, then leaving me at 30 energy. Solution: lose the glyph, just use tigers fury right after FBEdit: all above comments (including mine) are now useless because the glyph now heals us cats for *I think* 3% of our health

Comment by Marloss

With patch 4.2, this glyph will make Ferocious Bite heal kitties for 1% of their maximum health per 10 energy used. Since the minimum and maximum cost of Ferocious Bite will be 25 energy and 50 energy respectively in patch 4.2, this will be between 2% and 5% of our maximum health.

With the changes to Ferocious Bite in patch 4.2, I suspect it might be worth using above 25% boss health again, and so this glyph will likely be considered mandatory for serious raiders, as it will relieve at least some of the healers' strain.

My $0.02 while leveling during MoP:

I tried this glyph while leveling a new feral druid in patch 5.1 / 5.2. I figured it would be good for leveling, but not end-game, as I'm more solo when questing and leveling up.

Currently at level 43, with four heirloom pieces (decently geared for leveling) this glyph causes a high-end (50% energy bite) heal of 181-182. I have 3638 health (to give an idea at this level) so that is 5% (181.9 health). Comparatively, two Swift Hand of Justice trinkets net me 72-73 each (2%, doubled is 144-145 total health). So a Ferocious Bite killing a mob/boss/whatever will heal my kitty about 327 health. Not bad at all, for leveling solo. Coupled with a nice Nature's Swiftness + Healing Touch combo (macro'd together) this adds a good amount of survivability while one levels.

So overall, this glyph can out-heal two Swift Hand of Justice trinkets (or add to it). Since I usually do not need much more than the two trinkets, this glyph effectively can replace them (use them on another lowbie). Of course, the +13 haste that each one gives is nice for energy generation.

I ended up keeping the trinkets on my lowbie feral druid AND kept the glyph, for now. I think I will definitely replace it with Charred Glyph or Charred Glyph. Probably Charred Glyph if I team/raid a lot.
